Indigo
Abdullah Shakil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the corners of my mind
Went back to what once was mine
Before things had come undone
I mine through time for some answers
But we're resigned to disaster
Our hearts can't take another chapter
Defined by mine
I don't pray, but for you, I wouldn't mind
I start to think I look unkind
Cotton candy pink, now blue and white
When fear tugs at regret,
There's no nice place inside my head
Cause, I mine through time for some answers
But we're resigned to disaster
Our hearts can't take another chapter
Defined by mine
We're stars apart with shot through hearts
The spark, looks for its flame
Shrapnel from a once true love, still floating through space
Space, space, space
Space, space, space
I've been made, call a spade a spade
Faded trees, jaded memory
If I stay, it's goodbye from the other side
Hear me pray, you know for you I'd never mind
The lyrics to Abdullah Shakil's song "Indigo" explore the theme of longing for lost love and the pain of realizing that sometimes, relationships are doomed to fail. The opening verse speaks to the idea of memories and how certain things can trigger old feelings and thoughts. The singer has left behind clues and thoughts for their lost lover to find, but they are resigned to the idea that there may not be a chance for them to reconcile. The line "our hearts can't take another chapter defined by mine" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the relationship has been defined by the actions of the singer and the other person cannot keep going through the same cycle.
The chorus of the song takes on a more sorrowful tone. The singer acknowledges that if they stay, it will be a goodbye from the other side. They don't pray, but for their lost love, they wouldn't mind doing so. There's a sense of melancholy in these lines, as if the singer knows deep down that the relationship is over but still cannot help hoping for a miracle. The second verse includes the line "fear tugs at regret," which speaks to the idea that the singer is afraid of what they've lost and the fact that they may never be able to get it back.
Overall, "Indigo" is a heart-wrenching reflection on lost love and the pain of realizing that sometimes, love just isn't enough to keep a relationship going.

Although I'm not religious, I'm willing to do anything for you
I start to think I look unkind
I'm beginning to question my actions and whether or not I have been selfish
Cotton candy pink, now blue and white
The colors that once represented sweetness are now replaced by coldness and emptiness
When fear tugs at regret,
When I'm scared, I remember the things that I regret
There's no nice place inside my head
My thoughts and feelings are not pleasant or comforting
We're stars apart with shot through hearts
We're separated like stars that have been pierced with bullets
The spark, looks for its flame
The love that was once passionate is now searching for its counterpart
Shrapnel from a once true love, still floating through space
Pieces of love that used to be real are still in existence but scattered
I've been made, call a spade a spade
I've come to a realization and I'm being honest with myself
Faded trees, jaded memory
The memories are fading away and the feeling is becoming bitter or cynical
Hear me pray, you know for you I'd never mind
Even without religion, I'm willing to do anything for you and pray if it makes you happy
